New York City police put the brakes on a large trash train hauled by a homeless hoarder by throwing the woman's possessions into a dump truck as she helplessly watched.
The procession of shopping carts that Sonia Gonzalez, 60, left, has been dragging around the city for years was deemed obstructive by city authorities.
The massive collection of 20 grocery carts, 14 laundry carts, eight suitcases, two large crates and one dolly stretched an entire city block, and city officials said it got in the way of traffic and pedestrians.
Police officers and sanitation workers threw away about half of Gonzalez' stuff on Wednesday night, despite her protests, top right, which at one point saw her lie down on the ground crying, bottom right.
